“ I was looking for an engaging volunteering role where I can use my knowledge
and expertise to help others and Aidha was the perfect organisation. Not only did I
find a love for teaching, I got to know so many amazing women who are highly
motivated in improving their lives. Seeing them apply new skills in their everyday
life and witnessing their growth is such a humbling experience that I would not
trade for anything. ” - Anna Tserlingas, Module 1 - Manage Your Money and Tech Mentor
“ Mentoring at Aidha is such a fulfilling and enriching experience. The students’
eagerness to learn, determination to complete the Aidha curriculum, and drive
to improve their lives are so impressive. As a mentor, I have witnessed first-
hand the extent of Aidha’s impact on the lives of its students. Students
become more empowered and financially independent, ” - Marie-Laure, Module 2 - Plan Your Financial Future Mentor
WHAT OUR MENTORS SAY
I have no words to describe how proud I'm to be one of Aidha’s student. I remember a year ago before I found
Aidha, I was completely lost with no saving on my hands, and no future plans ahead. I was about to give up and go
home, until one day I found Aidha through website and I start join this program. I've learned a lot of things especially
about self confidence and financial management. Now I still finishing my module 2 and also I've started a small
business which I always dreamed of . Aninda Kusumawati
